Student Finance
Part-time students from England studying for their first degree or other designated higher education courses will have access to a government subsidised loan if they are studying at least 25% of a full-time course.
No Upfront Costs
- You don’t have to pay for your course upfront if you are studying for a degree for the first time.
- You can get a loan to cover the cost of your tuition, and start to pay back when you are earning over £25,000 a year.
How loan repayments are expected to work
- You will begin to repay your loan from the April three years after the start date of your course, or the April after you finish your course if that’s sooner.
- You repay 9% of your income above £25,000.
- If your salary falls below £25,000, your repayments stop. They would start again when you earn over £25,000.
- Loan repayments will be deducted from your salary, normally through the tax system.
- Any loan you have not repaid after 30 years is written off.
